I play on the easiest mode and that damn whole stealth chain of missions was awful. Hated every moment of it. Forget if you never put points into stealth, then it'd truly be impossible.
Like when you mind control, why do the other NPCs and turrets think they're enemies and start blasting their own homie who's just trying to run to a corner? Also sometimes the social popped up but I couldn't mind control, even as hidden.
Had to blast some NPCs multiple times during those quests just to get out of the chain cuz it was basically impossible do it undetected.
I have every perk related to stealth maxed out, I'm wearing every possible invisible space suit / helmet combination PLUS that stupid tactical stealth suit, and basically every turret fire at me from miles away.
If an enemy is above level 10 they spot me almost instantly as well. Very frustrating.
It took me AGES to max out the perk that requires you to stab 75 NPCs because it doesn't work!
